The Circus





We took little Mario to the circus. The Barnum and Bailey Ringling Brothers were in town. It was fun. Little Mario had a good time, I don't know why, but half way through he said he wanted to go home, but enjoyed the rest of the show after that. I think 2 hours is a long time to sit still for him. We let him get up and dance sometimes, but other than that it was sit and watch.... oh well. His favorite was when the girl got cut in half! I really liked the girls that swung around by their hair! That was crazy!! We got a cool video of some acrobats. OUr seats weren't the greatest. We were like 2 rows up from the floor, but waaaaayyyy off to the side, so we had a hard time seeing somethings. ("best available seats", pffff!) whatever, it was still fun! All in all it was great, but I think next time we take a child to the circus we will wait until they are 5 instead of 4, so the attention span is longer!

(It's always tough for me to enjoy something like this.... I'm a little bit of a snob when it comes to shows and fireworks and parades and all that because I worked in Disney World, I mean, really who does all that better than Disney? Universal Studios maybe? *sigh*)

Dinosaurs!!

A couple weekends ago we went to the museum in Columbia, SC where they had a dinosaur exhibit! The kids are really interested in dinosaurs right now, so this was really fun for them! Mario knew the name of a lot of the dinos and when he was digging in the "sand" for fossils, he said, "Look mom, I'm a paleontologist!" Hahaha! They both really enjoyed looking for fossils! Check out the pics to see our fun!

Painting the Kitchen


We, or rather, I painted the kitchen. I love it! I think it looks really great! This picture was taken at night so it's a little dark in the kitchen, but it's really nice during the day. I painted all the way into the dining room on the top only. I have plans for the bottom part, but that will be another day, another post. Let me know what you think!
